About me

Occupation Rural Family Medicine Resident
Location Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada
Introduction I'm indecisive, geeky, honest, usually sarcastic, usually serious, sometimes emotional, and a quintessential INTP. I am an egalitarian, evolutionary creationistic, somewhat Arminian, liturgical evangelical, but above all a follower of Christ in my own stumbling way. I believe in Redemption, and try to live and work to that end.

I like playing with words, making pie crust, reading webcomics, and wielding a scalpel (although I am not going to be a surgeon). I love exploring new places on foot, or rediscovering old ones. I appreciate talking to people who think deeply, art with something to say (even if it's just that superheroes are cool), intelligent attempts to improve the lives of others, and good food. I have found places to call home all over the world.
